Compared to the last good test of the market, three weeks ago, feeder steers traded steady to 4.00 higher while feeder heifers traded unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply. The new year at ORS started with a special pre-vac feeder sale in combination with the regular weekly sale making receipts larger than normal. Even with the large offering and late hours, demand stayed good throughout the sale. Cattle futures gained some of the ground lost on Monday but optimism was held in check by big gains on grain futures.
